For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.

Tablescape Thursday

Getting toward the end of my Nell Hill's tablescapes, so here's the one that was way over the top for me. The old tin wagon in the middle of the table was huge, and filled with grapevine. There truly was no room to eat, and certainly was no way to converse with the others at the table.

They used garden statuary for impact, and it certainly works!

They also used kitchen towels for napkins, as we all have at one time or another!

I really like the white pitcher and glasses, as well as the clay pots on the table.

Sandi, even though it's not practical, that centerpiece is lots of fun. I love the tin wagon on the table with all of the grapevine and things flowing from it. I wouldn't want to sit at that table and try to talk, but I like looking at it. It would make a good buffet table if there was a lot of room on either end for the food. ;-)

Love those colorful dishes, too, and the kitchen towels as napkins. I've done that for casual meals when we were eating something like boiled shrimp, and it really is a pretty neat trick.

I am wishing you a very Happy Tablescape Thursday as well as a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow. Hope it is filled with every blessing...

Ohhh...another fabulous Nell Hill tablescape! I really do love it but totally agree that the centerpiece is a little "over the top"...not very practical but very pretty!!! Thank you for sharing more pretties with us today, my friend!

Just wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving! Have a wonderful day!!!

About Me

I'm a small town girl, who grew to be a small town woman, and now is a small town "Meme" joined with my small town "Papa". We pretty much live our lives around our kids and grandkids, even though they live 6 hours away. We are in touch with them daily through the computer and would give everything in the world to be able to spend more time with them.

More About Me

I have collected milk glass in all forms, shapes and sizes since I was 12 years old when I got my first set of bedside lamps from Stanhome Products. I had to sell a case of "Degreaser" in order to earn them, and I wanted them SO BAD. I have had people make fun of me for years! I have over 100 pieces and use them every chance I get to decorate, serve, or just look at. Until I came upon Susan's blog at http://betweennapsontheporch.com/ I had never found anyone else who had the same connection with beautiful dishes or anything even close to my interests. I'm no longer the odd ball, I have found people I can relate to and am enjoying the blog world immensely! Thanks so much to all who might be out there who have inspired me to come out of the "closet"! Ha! Sandi
